the country respecting new basis for ma
tional bank circulation Over forty plans
have been proposed, and these are reduced
to five propositions:
First-To do away with the note-issuing
function of the banks Second-To increase
the Inducements for the banks to deposit
United States bends as a basis Of national
bank circulation Third-To provide by
new issue Of bonds for continuance Of the
present or of some modified system of nation
al bank circulation based on United States
bonds. Fourth-To substitute some other
security for United States bonds deposited in
the treasury as basis for national bank cir
culation. Fifth-To allow the banks to is
sue circulation upon their general credit,
without requiring specific security to be de-
posted.
The comptroller, after an elaborate discus
sion of these propositions, reaches this con-
clusion: at would appear that no substitute
yet proposed for thu present basis Of national
bank circulation is sufficiently free from OBJ
lection to be adopted The per
cent. bonds will not mature for twenty years,
and apart from other considerations, there is
enough in this fact to justify caution
and delay in making any radical change
in the basis of circulation. In that time, no
doubt, something acceptable will be devised,
but at present all that seems practicable is to
modify tine existing law so as to obviate its
Inconvenience, and as first step toward
this end it appears both safe and wise to re-
duce the minimum amount of bonds to be

The Interstate Act Does the Work the

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec IA decision
was rendered Saturday by the interstate
commerce commission, in the case of W. H.
Council, the colored principal Of the Hunts
vile (Ala-. industrial school, against the
Western & Atlantic railroad, of Georgia.
Council was assaulted and elected from q
passenger coach on this road, and compelled
to ride In the smoking car, although he had
purchased a first class ticket. The commits
SION decides that it will not go into the ques-
ton of money damages, because it can not
give jury trial, which the defendant is en-
titled to have under the seventh amendment
to the United States constitution, and that
it is not authorized to award counsel
any attorneys fees, which court
may do under the eighth section Of the
act to regulate commerce; that colored peo-
pie may be assigned separate cars on equal
terms, without advantage to either race, and
with increased comfort for both; that the
complainant had paid the same fare as other
tirst-class passengers, and it was only fair
dealing and common honesty that he should
have the security and convenience of travel
for which his money had been taken; that
the car furnished was only second-class in
comforts for travel, and the road must fur
nish colored people, who buy first-class tick
cts, accommodations equally safe and COM
Portable with other first-class passengers
The commission has decided the complaints
Of Milton Evans and William p Reed
against the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
ton company. The opinion goes at much
length into the tariffs, earnings and expenses
of the Oregon Railway and Navigation COM
pany, and decides that the rate OF 30 cents
per 100 pounds on wheat from Walla Walla
to Portland, charged the petitioners when the
petitions were filed last June, was too high,
and that on and after Dec IS, 1887, this COM
pany must not charge more than 2SLS cents
per 100 pounds on wheat between these

afterwards met and shook hands with repre-

would do all in his power to tranquilize the

the former going direct to the Elysee to take
formal possession. He remained there but
short time when he proceeded to his own res

In response to their cheers he appeared at

The Illinois state weather service bull
letin for November savst
There was hardly any precipitation in
this state until the 23d. when light rain
began and continued, at intervals, until
the 26th, when it changed to snow before
the advancing cold wave, and ended on
the 9th. This rain was the first break
in the drouth of the season and has been
of considerable benefit generally, espe>
cially to growing wheat and the wells
that have been so long dry Still the re-
lief is only temporary; and much more is
needed A record. in this office, of the
annual rainfall in the state since 1910
period of forty six years, shows thai
the average is IS 4 inches. The present
year, up to date, falls about the IS inches
below this; consequently this year will
be remarkable as the driest on record, fol
there is DO probability that December
will make up beyond small fraction Of
this deficiency.
There have been other years in which
drouth prevailed since the record com
menced, but none anywhere approaching
this. The greatest rainfall recorded
since 1S4S, was As 40 inches in 1858
which was 1917 inches above the gener.
al average of 46 years. 1874 was next
with II inches; 1851 had 46 81, and
1862 had as 80 inches The driest yeal
was 1867, with 30 80 inches, which was
nearly nine inches below the general
level Other dry years were 1876, with
1890, 1854, with 81 81, and 1856. with
3lS9 inches. The present year will,
therefore, IN all probability, fall five OF
six inches below the lowest on record.
With regard to temperature, the month
was about an average one, During the
first half the temperature was little
above the average for the season, and
during the latter half it was slightly be
low it. Two noticeable "c0ld waves
passed over the state during the month
one on the 18th and Goth and one on the
9th and 28th.

good work, and were the means of saving
